KPI 9
The number of research initiatives in which lay persons were involved (‘citizen science’) plus the number of events for science communication is at least 10 a year.
One of the strategic objectives of VLIZ is to promote ocean literacy in Flanders and the visibility of marine research to the public at large. To this end, VLIZ involves citizens in various citizen science initiatives and organises various events tailored to the needs of an array of target groups (young and old, professional and general, local and international, education and research).
